He lived thirty-six years, composed more than six hundred works, was one of the most brilliant composers of all time and, not insignificant in terms of today’s concert, he knew everything about human voice. No, it’s not about Mozart, but about Henry Purcell (1659-1695), the “Orpheus Britannicus” – the British Orpheus as he was named by his contemporaries shortly after his early death. The concert’s program is assorted from Purcell’s extremely rich vocal oeuvre of a truly Mozartian density. The pieces will be performed by a singer of magical voice, Polina Pasztircsák, Kammersängerin of the Hungarian State Opera House, winner of the 2009 Geneva International Music Competition. Her partners will be not only the ensemble led by Soma Dinyés, but music historian Gergely Fazekas as well, who between pieces will guide the audience to 17th-century London, the world of Purcell. The concert, of course, invites us not only to a time travel, but also to a descent into deeper regions of the soul. Few people have been able paint such an authentic musical picture about each station of the emotional arc from the happiness of lovers being together to the frenzy of the total solitariness, as Henry Purcell did.
